Chief Exorcist Says Devil is Working In The Vatican
The Catholic Church's chief exorcist has said that the Devil is at work in the Vatican.
Father Gabriele Amorth, 85, says that in the Vatican, there
are "cardinals who do not believe in Jesus, and bishops who are linked to
the Demon".
He has been chief exorcist for nearly 25 years and claims to
have dealt with 70,000 cases of demonic possession.
Speaking to Italian newspaper La Repubblica, the chief
exorcist said that the Catholic sex abuse scandal and the incident where a
mentally unstable woman attacked the Pope on Christmas Eve were evidence that
the Vatican had been infiltrated by the Devil.
Father Amorth said the Devil was "pure spirit,
invisible".
He added: "But he manifests himself with blasphemies
and afflictions in the person he possesses. He can remain hidden, or speak in
different languages, transform himself or appear to be agreeable.
"At times he makes fun of me but I have to say I enjoy
my work.'
